# Workflow templates
Workflow templates are pre-built workflows that you can use as a starting point. Instead of building automations from scratch, pick a template and customize it to fit your needs. For example, templates are useful for:
- Automating a common task
- Learning how workflows work
- Saving time with a ready-made example of a common automation pattern

You can get templates in two ways:
- **On GitHub**: [Browse](https://github.com/elastic/workflows/) the available templates and examples in the public GitHub repository to find one that matches your use case. Refer to the readme to get started.
- **In the Template library** <applies-to>Elastic Stack: Planned</applies-to> <applies-to>Elastic Cloud Serverless: Preview</applies-to>: Browse and add curated, out-of-the-box templates directly in Kibana, without leaving the Workflows app or starting from a blank editor. Refer to [Create a workflow from a template](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/7656/explore-analyze/workflows/templates/start-from-a-template) to get started.
